the main iron girders of the bridge,
which showed a clean, new fracture
through It's entire breadth, at the point
of junction of two of its parts. This
girder was composed of two parallel
plates of heavy wrought iron, connected
by braces of wrought iron and the whole
securely bolted.
The opinion is generally expressed by
those who have personally inspected the
wreck that the breaking of this girder
was the undoubted cause of the disaster,
but there is much doubt as to the cause
of the breaking of the girder. 1t has
been utated by some that there was jar
ring and humping sensation just previous
to the crash, which gives color to the
theory that the fourth car, the FIRST to go
through the bridge, was derailed and
thrown from its trucks to the ties of the
bridge with such force as to cause its
heavy iron supports to give way.
The broken axle anl broken rail theo.
ries find supporters, but the wreck,
bridge, and cars is 80 complete that it is
doubtful if it can ever be determined
just what caused the disaster. The
bridge was built fifteen years ago, and
during the past ten years has been
repaired three times, the original wooden
trestles having been replaced with iron
girders some ten years ago.
Workmen have been busily engaged all
day in removing the debris from the
street and from The embankment. No
attempt was made to save any portion Of
the train.
At late hour in the day, as the work of
removing the wreck was progressing,
additional evidences were found of the
terrible nature of the disaster. In some
places were fragments of flesh, or pieces
of clothing which had belonged to some
victim, whose remains had been previous.
ly removed to the morgue. There was
blood over everything, scarcely a splinter
being removed that was not stained with
the blood of victims. Most of the pieces
of clothing found were from the garments
of women, the number OF whom on the
train was much larger than that of the

The Lime Factory Sold,


A few months ago, MI Frank Con-
nell, Of Erin Teun., camo to this city
aud in conjunction with his brother,
Mr., James Council, who was employ
ed by Il. l.. Ellis & Co., decided to
open lime kiln on the river bank,
at the foot OF 3rd street. The stone
was examined and found to be equal
in every respect to that from which
the celebrated Erin lime, manufacture
ed by Harris 81 Buquo, is made.
The gentlemen under the firm name
of Connell Bros, proceeded 10 put up
a kiln and barrel factory and get
ready for u permanent business. They
invested about 1890 in the enter
prise and went TO work and soon
made about GOO barrels of very fine
lime. Among the orders received
was one from the Erin firm for II
carload The order was filled and
when the Erin men found that the
lime was as good as their own they
at once began to work their wires to
shut up the kiln here. One of the Con-
nells had formally worked with
them and the first step was TO offer
him his old place at 81 900 year. He
At once wanted to get out and return
to Erin, but his brother wanted to
continue the business. lie laid the
matter before several capitalists and
agreed to run the business himself
aud give up a good position with
Ellis 81 Co, if some man with $1,000
capital would buy his brothers in
terest aud enable the firm to make
some needed additions TO the plant,
etc. He stated that the capacity OF
the kiln was 60 barrels a day and
that every barrel made could be sold
at once at net profit of from 10 to 10
cents. After trying for two days he
was unaOleu 10 get any one 10 Jake
hold of the matter and consequently
the quarry, kiln and improvements
were all sold to the Erin men for
$1,000. They will not operate the
plant, but simple close il up and keep
out other parties. Thus has collapsed
promising industry that might have
been made big success if some en-
terprisiig capitalist had put a few
hundred dollars into it. The lime
was as fine as the best on the market
and the supply of rock is inexhausti-
bic. There was fortune in it, but the
whole plant has passed into the hands
of wealthy monopoly and that is
the end of il.

After The Liquor Men.

- -
As we have before remarked, the
eyes of the people of Christian cotiu-
ty are fixed upon the present Grand
Jury. The Prohibition Law has been
defied and violated aud it now re-
mains to be seen whether it eau and
will be enforced. The guilty parties
are intensely interested, the prohibit
tionists are interested and the people
at large are interested. The Grand
Jurors shut themselves up like clans
when questions are asked by out
siders, but something occasionally
leaks out that gives an insight into
their doings. 1t is pretty well es-
tablished fact that three fourths of
the members, including the foreman,
are in favor of the rigid enforcement
of the law. DIR. j. ID. Clardy, II. M.
Anderson and Robt. Lander, col,
three of the most ardent prohibition
advocates in the county, are making
the liquor men miserable by the way
they are questioning witnesses. a
great many parties have been sum
mouod to appear. Many of them are
truthful gentlemen and ii is believed
that oil has been struck in several
localities. The list of those summon
ed and to be summoned includes
lawyers, doctors, Main-street mer-
chants, county officers, ex-oflicers, eX-
saloonmen, politicians aud SO on
down the list 10 common drunGards,
and negroes who carry baskets around
town to gather up dirty clothes at all
hours of the day and night. Since
the Grand Jury met, there has been
so much sickness developed about
the city that several parties have
gone to the country for the bene-
fit of their health and will proba-
bly, be gone two or three weeks.
Some Of those called in to answer
questions are very reluctant TO tell
all they know and it is even rumored
that the foundation has been laid for
4 few indictments for perjury. The
grand jury is the one theme of public
talk and the people have such faith
in it that one Of the ministers in his
sermon Sunday thanked God that We
had such grand jury. No indict-
ments have yet been returned and
the wet men are saying that the wit
nesses have evaded the questions in
most instances and that so few indict.
ments will be found that the violators
can afford to pay the fines and go
ahead. 1t must however be borne 10
mind that after the first convictionim.
prisonment is part OF the punish.
ment and if there is any attempt,
made to ignore this a considerable
racket is liable to be kicked up by
those who want to see the liquor bus
mess broken up entirely. 1t may al
so be noted that conviction has fol-
lowed in every case so far tried by a
jury, though the juries have in most
cases given the lowest penalty for
first convictions. The new jury to
be empaneled next Monday will try
the next cases. Taken all in all the
outlook for the enforcement of the Law
is not so bad. Whenever indictments
are returned the cases should br
pushed to speedy trial and if the
petit juries really want the law en-
forced let the highest penalty-s50C
and 30 days in jail-be assessed in
every case after the first. If this be
lone, il will take but few convic-
lions 10 knock the bottom out of the
whisky business in Hopkinsville and
Christian county. Z

A novel and interesting suit took
place before Esquire O'Brien at Ha-
densville, Monday of last week.
John Pickett, a Todd county boy,
brought suit against Miss Eunice
Hooser, one of the prettiest young
ladies in the county, for $l.95, car
and bus fare from Nashville to
Guthrie. AT the time the young
man was SO lavish with his money,
IL is said that the relations between
the two were exceedingly pleasant,
but il is ever thus that the "course of
true love never runs smooth" and
things took a tilt in another direc-

young lady, much to the delight of
many spectators. The families are
